The full text has not yet been released and a formal signing ceremony slated to take place in Switzerland on Friday.
Here’s what to know:
What’s on the agreement: US President Donald Trump said the US is lifting its naval blockade on Iranian ports, and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen after the agreement is signed on Friday. He also said the agreement will ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is “permanently toll free.” Diverging views: The US and Iran have conflicting messages on what comes next after the agreement is signed. Iran’s deputy foreign minister said 60-day nuclear negotiations will begin only once the US releases billions in frozen funds. A US official rejected Iran’s assertions. Lebanon conflict: Israel has yet to comment on the agreement. Trump criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him “a very difficult guy.” Israeli forces launched airstrikes in Beirut earlier on Sunday, before news of the agreement. Announcement timing: Trump unveiled the Iran agreement on his 80th birthday in the US, just hours before hosting a White House UFC event celebrating the country’s upcoming 250th anniversary. A US official said that Tehran did not want the announcement to be made before midnight in Iran, which would have fallen on Trump’s birthday.
